Save the web. Read it later.
Ribbon is a quiet place for the articles and newsletters you meant to get back to. Save them in one click and read them without the clutter. Or listen. Or ask a question.
- Save anything
- Grab whatever you’re reading with a single click, from any site. The extension only ever sees the page you’re on.
- Read without the clutter
- A clean, serif-set reader strips out ads, sidebars, and pop-ups. Pick light, dark, or cream, and adjust the type until it feels right.
- Listen instead
- Turn any saved piece into audio with one tap. It starts playing before the rest finishes converting, so you’re never waiting on a spinner.
- Catch up on feeds and newsletters
- Follow RSS feeds and forward newsletters to your own Ribbon address. Everything lands in one calm river instead of piling up in your inbox.
- Highlight what matters
- Mark a passage, leave a note, find it again later. Your highlights stay attached to the piece instead of scattering across screenshots.
- Search your whole library
- One search bar that covers the full text of everything you’ve saved.
From fifteen open tabs to one quiet list
Save something in the middle of a busy afternoon, the long piece you don’t have time for right now. On the walk home, or stuck in traffic, listen to it instead. The narration doesn’t sound like a voice memo. And when you come back to the text, it picks up exactly where the audio left off.
Ask the article a question
Not every piece needs a full re-read to answer one question. Select a quote and ask Scout what it means, or what the author left out. Scout only knows the piece you’re asking about, so its answers come from the text in front of you rather than the wider internet.
Nothing extra
No ads. No tracking your reading to sell it. The browser extension only ever asks for the tab you’re currently on, and it can’t see your browsing history.
Questions
- What platforms does Ribbon work on?
- Web, the Chrome extension, and a native iOS app that works offline. Android and other browsers aren’t available yet.
- How do newsletters get into Ribbon?
- You get a personal Ribbon email address. Subscribe with it, or forward issues to it, and they land in your library instead of your inbox.
- What can the extension see?
- Only the page you’re on when you click it. It can’t read your other tabs or your history.
